   In Conversation with Hak Baker

   In this episode, I talk to rising star Hak Baker. From learning guitar in prison, to being inspired by his remarkable grandmother, he tells us how he's forging his very individual path to stardom. Just a heads up - there is some strong language in this one. hakbaker.com @hakbaker shambalafestival.org
